Jim Fox (born 1953 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is an American composer, and also founder, director, producer, and designer of the "small but influential"
His compositions, often for small and unusual instrumentations (e.g., The City the Wind Swept Away is scored for piano, solo strings, two trombones and two bass trombones), are slow, creating tension and interest through unpredictable change within a generally repetitive idiom.
